AI Builders for Substack Series on Product Decisions & Trade-Offs

Build With Attitude ✊ - An Open Invitation To Vibecoders Who Care About Building Things That Matter Hi everyone, I’m looking to feature builders who are willing to talk honestly about how they think while building with AI. Not just what you built, but the decisions, trade-offs, and judgment calls that shaped it. On my Substack (10k + readers) I’m starting a weekly collaboration series called Build With Attitude, focused on building value, not slop. Right now, it’s incredibly easy to build things with AI. What’s hard is deciding: what’s actually worth building what not to build when to say no and how to avoid shipping something just because it was easy That’s the part I want to make visible. I’m especially interested in builders who: started something and got stuck or changed direction realized halfway through they were building something “possible” but not “valuable” had to push back against a tool, a shortcut, or their own excitement care about product thinking, judgment, and trade-offs Projects do not need to be: finished successful impressive highly technical Paused, abandoned, experimental, or “still figuring it out” projects are very welcome. I want to make one thing clear, the goal isn’t exposure for exposure’s sake - it’s helping others and giving them something real to learn from. How it works: You must be on Substack You answer an intake form I synthesize your answers into a narrative post You review & approve the draft If this sounds like you — or if you’re not sure but curious — I’d love to hear from you. 👉 Comment here or DM me and I’ll share the details. Thanks for reading, Karo
